Best Price Garage Blog - all about car repair & services.

For most of us, buying a new or even a good quality used car represents a substantial financial investment. So it's natural for us to want our vehicles to be reliable and perform well for extended periods of time.

But despite the huge demands Britain's motorists place on their vehicles every single day, a lot of people still fail to realise the importance of taking their cars for a regular service. In the long run, this can lead to costly repairs, and even risk the lives of drivers and their passengers.

Here are four reasons why you need to take your vehicle for servicing on a regular basis:

1. Safety first

Brakes and tyres are top of the list when it comes to servicing any vehicle, and having these crucial components checked out by a professional mechanic will ensure your car is safe to take on the road. Having your vehicle regularly serviced will not only bolster your confidence in traffic, it will give you the peace of mind of knowing that you and your vehicle are not a danger to yourself or others.

2. Increase fuel efficiency

Besides reducing harmful exhaust emissions, regular vehicle maintenance will increase your car's fuel efficiency and prolong the life of your engine. This will save you money and help the planet, too.

3. Decrease the risk of breakdowns

A vehicle that has 'suddenly died' costs time and money. Yet a lot of breakdowns are caused by something really simple, such as a burst hosepipe or a leaking gasket. A regular service will replace or repair your car's component parts long before they can become a problem that could leave you stranded at the side of the road.

4. Keeping the lights on

Let's face it, it's not uncommon to be stopped by the police because a brake light or an indicator has stopped working properly. Our service mechanics will check that all your car's lights are clean, visible and fully functioning, saving you the hassle of impromptu vehicle checks, and improving your safety as well.
